This is about future Black and brown men and the interactions they have with the police.

Real Justice

Hello John, my name is April Green. You might have heard about my nephew, Keita O’Neil, in the news.

Back in 2017, a San Francisco police officer, Christopher Samayoa, fired shots through his vehicle window and killed my beautiful nephew. Keita’s mother and I have been fighting for justice ever since and we have ONE MORE DAY to make sure that the man who killed him is held accountable.

Keita was unarmed. We’re talking about 0.39 seconds from the time my nephew took his foot off the pedal and left it running to when he was shot.

Now I could spend my entire life looking back and focusing on this loss. But this case is not just about my nephew. My nephew is gone. He's not coming back.

This is about future Black and brown men and the interactions they have with the police. Keita is not the first and he won’t be the last. There’s so many other kids that are being unjustly murdered by police.

And to address that, I’m so glad Real Justice has joined me in this fight to win accountability and honor Keita by making sure that the cop who killed him is held accountable.

We can’t count on the San Francisco District Attorney, Brooke Jenkins, to help. She’s said that she will dismiss the charges against Officer Samayoa on TOMORROW.

That’s why, together, we are demanding that Attorney General Rob Bonta pick up the case and prosecute Christopher Samayoa for killing Keita.

Can we count on you to join us before tomorrow? Please click here right now to sign our petition demanding that AG Rob Bonta take on the case and prosecute former SFPD Officer Samayoa for killing my nephew Keita before the charges are dropped tomorrow.

I am currently in the hospital but will be home soon. I have stage 3 ovarian cancer and will need chemo. I’m feeling better but moving slowly. I'm begging this man from my bed, as I speak to you, that he takes my nephew’s case and be my voice — not just my voice, but the voice of our Black and brown men that are being murdered by the San Francisco police.

The police union will do everything to delay and deny my family justice, as they have been doing for five years.

This case could set a precedent for future cases that involve police that abuse their power. It will show that police can be held accountable too. But it will only happen if all of you join me in demanding that AG Bonta take on this important case.

It's time for the glass bubble that has been protecting police for eons to be cracked. And my nephew's case is the one that can set that standard.

Thank you so much for taking action with us,

April Green
